Very interesting. I like the compositions, especially the images of Salieu who is a dignified model, and one I know since his first appearance on Red blog new York. As a concept, however, the idea is totally flawed. To a figure drawer, the images are instantly gendered, and I think that would be true to most people's eyes. The modelling world has never really understood alchemical ideas of the androgyne. Thanks for drawing my attention to this body of work
